Instructions to Authors
SAGE Publications has long established itself as the publisher of choice for many academics and practitioners in the fields in which we publish.
SAGE Publications authors receive an all round publishing service of the highest quality. A Production Editor and a Marketing Manager are assigned to handle each author and are always available for queries and feedback.
The Commissioning Editors at SAGE Publications have a reputation for building supportive working relationships with their authors from initial contact through to publication and for years after. They combine a long term vision of the publishing process with a real understanding of their fields of specialism.
Our Production Editors emphasize, from receipt of manuscript through to publication, professionalism and attention to detail throughout, and provide one of the most efficient services in academic publishing.
Existing SAGE Publications authors are aware of our unrivalled capacity to market their books. With our commitment to truly international dissemination, and with the advantage of our sister companies in California and New Delhi, every book is provided with a vigorous marketing campaign to maximize its global sales potential.
SAGE Publications seeks to publish the best work at all levels from reference publishing to modular series and textbooks. Two types of book are actively encouraged:
- Major contributions to the fields in which we publish. Authors who locate a distinctive intellectual contribution against a broad analysis of the existing literature are particularly welcomed.
- As a major academic publisher we place a priority on high quality teaching materials. We welcome proposals for textbooks of all levels which emphasize clarity and course relevance and have a clear pedagogic intent.
In this context, we invite you to submit a proposal to us, following these proposal guides.
